Li Xiaole smiled on the stage and said: "Since I was a child, I have observed many people around me, and I have also read many scripts adapted from true stories, zuihou I found that no matter which road we choose to take, there is no smooth sailing, even if you go completely according to the most correct and promising route in everyone's minds, before the end of the end that you think is successful, you will still experience failure, and countless failures, you will watch many people climb up, and you will fall behind, many people who are worse than yourself, But because of luck or other things, you are better than yourself, at that time, you will be angry, unwilling, frustrated, have nowhere to vent, and even despair......
Do you want to weishenme I did so much or couldn't succeed? weishenmeο½οΌ No matter what path you choose, there will always be a day when you stop and think, what is what your heart really wants? β
When the students in the audience heard this, they all fell into a deep thought, what exactly do they want, many of them are not studying for interest, just to find a good job, if they fail one day, but see others are better than themselves, will they be angry and depressed? Everyone asks this question in their own mind.
Everyone wants to succeed and do certain things with enthusiasm, but many times your enthusiasm is poured down by others with a basin of cold water, in this impetuous environment, who can keep themselves gritting their teeth and moving forward?
"So I decided to choose a path that I liked, although this road seems to be difficult to walk, and the goal is as difficult as the sky, but at least I am happy when I walk.
If I succeed, I can get a 'happy result', then it must be a perfect life path, but even if I fail, then I will at least have a happy process, and failure is also a 'happy failure'.
On the other hand, if I choose another path, no matter what the outcome, I will have to have a painful process, 'painful success' and 'painful failure'...... Students, I would like to ask you sincerely, does the life path you have chosen now make you feel happy now? Or is it pain? β
Li Xiaole's questioning made everyone stunned, it is said that they are all the top talents in the country, and they have reached the highest expectations of the people around them, but they can't blurt out: "I'm happy?" β
"And when I took this path as a director, although I was very happy, there were still many people who kept telling me that this was not realistic, and that it was better to find a normal job, even if I returned to China after making a successful movie like "Color is Empty", my mother was still trying to find me a regular job of less than 2,000 yuan, which is said to be a ...... for buying and selling stocks."
"How is it possible~" "Haha Director Li is fooling around again. The audience suddenly burst into laughter, thinking that Li Xiaole was joking, and more people thought that he didn't have a backache when he stood and talked, and he was already so successful and pretended to be a vulnerable group, very
"You may not believe it, after the famous director Ang Lee won the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival at the wedding banquet, his father still wanted him to change careers, and after Taiwan's film master Yang Dechang won the Golden Horse Award, his mother also said to him, 'How old are you this year, you have made a few movies, you can find some serious things~!" Li Xiaole finished the two short stories with a smile, and everyone realized that he was not joking.
"So, from this, you can know that even if you are the person who loves you the most on shijie, you may not be able to show you a clear path, the road under your feet is your own way, and when you are confused, you can open your heart and listen to the opinions of others, but zuihou you still have to ask your own heart.
Which path can make me truly happy? Which path can you choose in the face of pain and have enough liliang support not to fall......"
When Li Xiaole said this, he flicked the bangs on his forehead and looked at Lei Ting beside him with a smile: "Actually, sometimes a good friend around me will ask himself, I have made so much money, why do I have to do such a hard job as a director?" It's good to buy stocks and make money~"
Lei Ting's eyes suddenly widened, expressing anger.
"Frankly, I asked myself this question as well, and then I figured it out." Li Xiaole looked at the smile below and said: "I am not a director to make money, not to meet beautiful female stars, or to let others recognize me, but because this is what I know I yearn for, and my heart is the direction of the road...... Walk in your heart, Xiexie everyone. β
After the speech, the Peking University students in the audience all stood up and applauded warmly, there were many celebrities who came to speak, but there were not many who could make everyone give a standing ovation, obviously Li Xiaole's modest and peaceful attitude made Peking University students have a good impression of him, and the important thing is that Li Xiaole's words gave them some insights.
"Xiexie Director Li Xiaole's wonderful speech, please give us Li Xiaole another warm applause." The student host walked out with a smile with the microphone and said, "Our students have a lot of questions to ask Director Li Xiaole, and the questions may be a little sharp, I hope you can answer them as much as possible." β
"Yes, you can ask anything." Li Xiaole smiled calmly, since he came, of course he was not afraid of being troubled by the students.
Almost half of the students in the audience raised their hands, and the host ordered a female classmate with a ponytail in the front row.
"Hello Director Li, I have always felt that your name is very popular, even a little cheesy, I want to ask you weakly, have you ever thought about choosing a more connotative stage name for yourself, such as Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige?" The ponytail girl asked, and the scene immediately burst into laughter.
"That's a question that a lot of people have asked." Li Xiaole touched his forehead with some embarrassment, and said with a wry smile: "I often read movie reviews on the website, and many netizens who watched my movies for the first time said, 'I don't want to watch movies when I see this name~!'" Xiaole? Can you be a little more cheesy, Xiao Ming, Xiao Qiang, kittens, and puppies are all here to be directors~! Vulgar! ββ
"hahaha~" The students of Peking University were amused by Li Xiaole's helpless expression again, and their stomachs hurt with laughter.
"Actually, I can only say that this question should be asked to Feng Xiaogang, Wang Xiaoshuai, Wang Xiaobo, Li Xiaoshuang, Wu Xiaoli...... I can't explain the rest. Li Xiaole shrugged his shoulders awkwardly.
In the daxiao of the crowd, the host ordered the second student to stand up:
"Hello host, hello Director Li~ Director Li, the title of your speech is "Looking for the Heart", which seems to be telling us that money is not important, the important thing is your inner persistence, but I feel that you yourself have not expressed this insistence, I actually all know that during this period of time, there are two most popular directors now, one is the fifth generation of Zhang Yimou, and the other is you, both of them have won great success in recent years, but it is precisely Zhang Yuan, Wang Xiaoshuai, who has been recognized internationally in recent years, Jia Zhangke, these art film directors, have been ignored by the public, but you and Zhang Yimou have received nothing in international awards.
But most people are very vulgar, and often think that the box office is the only element of the success of the movie, so do you think that commercial films are the true meaning of movies, do you think you are better than Zhang Yuan and Wang Xiaoshuai? β
The chubby boy with glasses in the front row in a black shirt and an inch hairstyle asked imposingly.
"In fact, in my opinion, film is first and foremost a service industry, and it needs a lot of money and a lot of people to fulfill our dreams for ourselves and selfishness. So we have to be responsible, the box office is definitely very important, if you ask me if it is important to make money, I can tell you for sure that making money is very important, but it is not important to make more or less money, this question is not very important for ordinary people, you can ask Director Wu Yusheng, who filmed "Wind Whisperer", he will tell you the answer~"
The following push of the students who know the common sense of film all laughed, and the fat student who was extremely "angry" still asked unwillingly: "So do you think that commercial films are more important than art films?" Even Jiang Wen, who has been making art films, has been brought into the field of commercial films by you. I don't think you need to make an in-depth movie to prove yourself,"
"Well...... Li Xiaole thought for a moment how to explain this concept to ordinary people, and then looked at him and said:
"In fact, I think a lot of evaluations are not very accurate for directors, such as the classification of commercial films and art films, for example, the films directed by Feng Xiaogang are very literary, his movies actually stand anywhere in Shijie, and even in Hollywood, they are not commercial films, including his comedies, which are very humanistic things, but because he sold money, everyone scolded him, as if movies that can't be understood and have no box office can be classified as art.
I really can't control the deep story yet, I'm just shooting the subjects I love, and these themes are more popular with the audience. β
Li Xiaole's domineering answer immediately aroused a warm applause, but the "angry youth" fat classmate still said solemnly: "I still hope that Director Li, you have some insistence that a filmmaker should have, and put justice and responsibility above money." He put down the microphone in a huff.
Another female student picked up the microphone and said directly to the male classmate just now:
"I want to say a word to the angry young Song Ke first, because he has always regarded himself as the embodiment of justice, and then he put these things into the movie, he thinks that it should be completely separated from business, in fact, if I put these elements in the movie and express them in a more commercial way, it can get a more haode box office and be seen by more people, it is a particularly meritorious thing, so I especially appreciate director Li Xiaole."
The scene immediately applauded, and the faces of the angry young and fat classmates turned green.
